Enterprise Architecture (EA) knowledge refers to the understanding of the organization’s IT infrastructure, applications, and processes in the context of the overall business strategy. Effective EA knowledge can help organizations optimize their IT investments, improve IT agility, and achieve desired business outcomes.

EA knowledge may include:

  2. Assessing IT infrastructure: Organizations should assess their IT infrastructure, including hardware, software, and network infrastructure, to identify potential areas for optimization.
  3. Evaluating application portfolios: Organizations should evaluate their application portfolios to ensure that they are aligned with overall business strategy and are delivering the expected value.
  4. Optimizing IT processes: Organizations should optimize their IT processes to improve IT agility and efficiency.
  5. Establishing governance frameworks: Organizations should establish governance frameworks to ensure that IT investments are aligned with overall business strategy and are delivering the expected value.

Effective EA knowledge requires a deep understanding of the organization’s business goals, as well as the IT infrastructure and applications that support these goals. IT executives should ensure that their EA knowledge is well-documented and communicated to relevant stakeholders across the organization.
